canesluver Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I just heard on WTOP that we should be expecting a noreaster this weekend, with DC getting at least 4 inches. Who do you think has an advantage in both games if there is significant snowfall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Pittsburgh and Philly. I want the other two teams to win though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 well, I think its a draw in Philly since ATL has a better classic running game with Duckett and Dunn. But they are also a dome team. Westbrook has been awesome. Buts not a 30+ carry back and even with Levins...that evens the field alittle. In Pittsburgh...Snow is the New England's middle name, I think the Pats won't lose again until next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD_washingtonredskins Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 IBleed, I guess that's true. I was just looking at it as a running matchup. The Steelers run the ball 35+ times a game and the Patriots (though dangerous with Dillon) seem to enjoy slinging the ball around some more. But I guess you're right, they've proven they can win big games in bad weather. I want them to win so thanks for making me change my mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skns4life Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 was the last time the skins played in the snow in Denver?? or do you count those flurries and wintry mix against the Cards in the season finale snow?? either way, i'd take the skins in the snow over any other team!!

TD_washingtonredskins Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 No blame at all...don't worry! I don't care that much. I just want Big Ben to lose because I think he's getting WAY too much credit. But, as it's been for 12 or the past 13 seasons, I don't really care too much about who wins in the playoffs.

canesluver Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 If I remember correctly, wasn't it snowing heavily in Vick and the Falcons NFC playoff victory over Green Bay a couple years back? He had an awesome game in the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Dog Night Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Yeah, when the Skins aren't in the playoffs, it's kinda like watching a relitively entertaining movie - don't really care how it ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riggins44 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I give the edge to Steelers in their game. I'll take the Bus and Staley over Dillon. Toss up in Eagles and Falcons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty P For The Pulitzer Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 The Falcons aren't a typical dome team though. Indy and St Louis rely on the speed of their WRs, Atlanta doesn't. Vick in the snow will run faster than anyone else in the snow. Duckett will get his share of carries being a big power back. And even Dunn doesn't exactly rely on his speed, although his shifty movement style will be affected by the snow. I think Philly's O will be hurt more than Atlanta's. McNabb likes to throw deep balls, and if snow won't let him do that, they could be in trouble. The safeties can cheat up to the LOS instead of stay back and help prevent deep balls. I'll take Atlanta either way, because Philly will choke sunny or snowy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Someone already mentioned it; Pats+snow= NE victory. ATL has a good enough running game to handle the snow. Falcons went in and beat Green Bay in Green bay in the playoffs. Vick and they can handle a little bit of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbear Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Skins4life, thanks for making me think of the last snow game I can remember with the skins: I was on the 50 yard line 10 rows up for the dallas loss where we were crushed at fed ex last year. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right on call counts there TD, but remember too that the Patriots rushed for 210 yards against the Colts and only passed for 115 Most of Brady's throws were very short to medium at best, and with a rookie QB playing for th Steelers, that would seem to bode well for the Pats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cphil006 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Vick will be slowed down, but then again, so will Philly's defenders...let's see if Vick can scramble all around them. I think Philly's passing game will be in check and McNabb shouldn't be ablt to do much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canesluver Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 I think he'll be slowed down as well, but I think he'll be a nightmare for the Eagles in the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games like this usually come down to the kicking game, and AV is the best big game kicker in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Damn, if theres snow it seriously has to help out Vick. Mc Nabb has some speed but no where near the moves, that will put defenders on their asses, Vick has. The Eagles offense should be effected much more by the weather. Mc Nabbs accuracy will be way off too while Vick usually hands off or runs it himself. I picked the Eagles to win 20-17 but if there is a lot of snow the Falcons should win unless Vick fumbles more than once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, I wouldn't want to be the Steelers and have to be one dimensional against a Bill Belichick defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaganaut Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Anybody who thinks that Vick will be able to play superman in the snow is just crazy. He is just another good quarterback in the snow. This is only good for Philly, flat out. Don't forget those LOVABLE FANS too in Philly. Think they will abstain from alcohol for the game? Put it this way: will they be able to make it to their seats? Just how many dangerous objects can be concealed in a snowball? Hand grenades? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsknbill Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 We still expect a major storm to develop in the middle part of the country and head into the East this weekend. Snow, with ice and even rain on the southern fringe, will break out tomorrow night and early Saturday across the Great Lakes, south through the Ohio and Tennessee valleys. This energy will transfer into a powerful storm along the East Coast by early Sunday. This is the kind of storm that can leave a foot or more, in the area where the heaviest snow sets up. This will definately make the games interesting this weekend :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
